Your hometown and your favourite things about it?
I was born in Singapore but call Melbourne, Australia my home.  I love living here because it is a fairly large city where one can find lots of arts and sport entertainment but not too big that one can get lost in it!         

Favourite type of food?
I am a bit of a piglet (okay, a lot) so it's hard to pick!  I do love anything with seafood or that is spicy, such as curries.

Favourite restaurant?
My family and I do like to frequent Dumpling King in Box Hill (in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne).  They have delicious dumplings and other fantastic dishes too.

Favourite recipe?
I love to cook Singaporean chicken curry, one of my favourite dishes to eat when I was growing up!  Simply fry off 1-2 Tb (or to taste) good quality Indian or Malay curry powder with chopped onions, minced ginger and garlic until fragrant.  Add a cinnamon stick, some crushed cardamom pods and cloves and a stick of lemongrass.  Then add 800g-1kg chicken pieces, 3 potatoes and 3 carrots, chopped into bite-sized chunks to the mix.  Top with chicken stock, water and coconut milk to just cover the lot and simmer until everything is cooked and tender (about 45 minutes).

Favourite travel destination?
I love going back to Singapore for holidays and I also like travelling to Tasmania for its rugged beauty and wilderness.

Dream travel destination?
Oh, most definitely Paris!  I have been wanting to travel there since my teens, LOL.

What do you enjoy most about making your products?  Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I really enjoy playing with beads!  I love finding a mix of beads which is "just right" for a piece as well as matching beads and cabochons with suitable filigrees and findings.  I tend to draw colour inspiration from naturally occurring combinations while many of my designs are inspired by the Victorian and other vintage eras.

How long does it take to make one of your creations?  Anything interesting about the process that you would like to mention?
Items which feature cabochons can take a day or two to make because I let the glue cure and set overnight to ensure a firm bond.  I like to create my cabochon pieces in large batches for this reason, but it does leave my dining room table unuseable for other purposes since it is the best spot for leaving my pieces to cure!  Pieces which have a lot of beadwork or wire-wrapping can also take a while to make because I am fussy and like to do everything slowly to get it right.

In your words, what makes your products unique?
I like to think that my products are versatile and are suitable for both casual and more formal wear.  I love being able to put on a pair of earrings or a necklace and know that they will look great with any of my outfits!
